Title: Improvements in Machines for Decorticating Fibrous Plants.
Inventor: HOLLIER WALTER JOHN
IPC: D01B1/30
Filed: 1911-02-22
Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 4485. Hollier, W. J. Feb. 22. Decorticating flax, ramie, etc.; feeding and transferring flax etc.; rippling-apparatus. -A decorticating-machine for flax, also applicable to fibrous plants of either the leaf or stalk varieties, such as manilla, plants of the aloe and agave families, ramie, hemp, and jute, of the kind in which the material to be treated is carried past decorticating-devices so arranged one in front of the other or at an angle to each other that the whole length of stalk is treated, the portions held during treatment by the first device being subsequently treated in the second device, comprises a pair of decorticating - devices inclined towards each other, the front end of one being located substantially opposite to the rear end of the other, and a thrasher located opposite to the first of the decorticating-devices. The stalks are plaed in a trough 86, Figs. 1 and 2, having a guard 87 leaving only a narrow outlet 88, and are spread out in a thin eveu layer and passed to the feeding-device by a worm 90 working in a slot in the trough 88<a>. The stalks are then seized by the feeding- device 56, which comprises an endless chain 73 running in a trough 67 and carrying blocks 75 of leather or like yielding material, having flat working surfaces, coacting with an adjustable bar 59 having a grooved under surface. The stalks 116 gripped by the feeding-device are carried past a thrashing-device C, which removes the pods and seeds. This comprises a pair of parallel endless chains 110, Figs. 1 and 10, driven by sprocket - wheels 107, 108, and carrying halfround bars 111, the bars on one chain alternating with those on the other chain. The butt ends of the stalks are simultaneously treated in a decorticating-device A. This device comprises a pair of endless chains 29, 35, Fig. 7, carried by sprocket-wheels on shafts 27, 33 and having mounted upon them bars 39, 41 which interlock, the projections 40 on the bars 39 extending into hollows in the bars 41 to such an extent as to leave space only for the stalks between the end of the projection and the bottom of the groove. The device A is arranged at an angle to the line of the feeding-device so as to act first upon the ends of the stalks. The chains are arranged in slightly diverging planes to secure a gradual decrease in the decorticating action. The stalks are then transferred from the feeding-device 56 to a similar parallel device 77, which grips the portions of the stalks that have been treated in the decorticating-device A. The ends of the stalk that have been de-seeded in the device C are then treated in the second decorticating-device B, which is similar to the device A but oppositely inclined. The front end of the device B projects in front of the rear end of the device A, and the device B extends across the longitudinal median line of the machine.

Patent GB-191127597-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Breech Actuating and Loading Apparatus of Heavy Guns.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1911-12-08
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,597. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Dec. 8. [Addition to 22,043/10.] Ordnance breech mechanism.-Consists in a modified construction of control gear for an hydraulic breech-actuating motor arranged upon the gun-slide and adapted to open the breech during the counter-recoil, and to close it after the loading tray is lowered, in the manner set forth in the parent Specification. Improved means are also described, for positively preventing the full opening of the breech when the gun fails to complete the run-out stroke. The control gear comprises (1) a lever e' e<2>, Figs. 1 and 4, carried by the gun slide C and connected by a rod e to the valve-actuating lever D<2> of the hydraulic motor D. A spring plunger E, located in the lever arm e<2>, is merely depressed by a projection E' on a recoiling part when the gun recoils, but, during the run-out, the projection operatively engages the plunger and rocks the lever, thereby opening the valve and starting the motor. As shown in Fig. 4, the plunger E is moved laterally out of the path of the projection E<1> to render the control non- automatic. By screwing the hand-crank E<2Î> along the screwed sleeve e<2Î>, the plunger is re-alined with the projection E'. (2) An arm on the loading-tray C<2> co-operates with a spring plunger mounted in the arm f<1> of a lever f<1>, f<3>, and operates the control valve through a rod f, when the tray is lowered, in a similar manner to the device E, E'. If the gun fails to run-out fully after recoil, a roller on an arm G, mounted on the lower extremity of the carrier axis-pin, engages with a cam G<1> on the gun-slide, and stops the breech-opening operation.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Airships or Aeroplanes or the like.
Inventor: WILSON WILLIAM JACOB
IPC: B64C17/00
Filed: 1912-07-05
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 483. Wilson, W. J. July 5. Propelling; balancing.-Air-ships, aeroplanes, &c. are balanced by the manual or automatic alteration of the pitch of single or twin propellers Fig. 1 shows one arrangement, in which the propeller blades are connected each to a rod d<4> connected to the rotatable collar d and to a rod e<4> mounted on a rotatable and slidable part e<2>. The sleeves e<2> are moved in the same direction, when an oppositely screwed sleeve g' is rotated, through bell-crank levers f and links e<3>. The collars d are connected through bevelgearing c, c<1> to the motor-driven shaft b, and the propeller blades are normally in the neutral position. When the sleeves e<2> are moved similarly, the two propellers tend to lift or depress the part of the machine to which they are secured. By the movement of the sleeve g<1> as a whole to either side, brought about manually through a lever i or automatically by a weight attached to the lever i as when the machine tilts, the propellers are differentially adjusted. As shown in Fig. 2, the propellers are adjusted through cams j pivoted at k, k<1> on which axes pinions are fixed meshing with a rack k<2>. By rotating a wheel l on the axis k, the pins f<3> on the bell-crank levers fare both moved outwards or inwards due to their movement in the cam-slots j<1>, and the propellers are similarly adjusted. The rack k<2> is connected through a pin m<2> which fits in a camslot m<1> with the manually or gravitationally operable cam m, so that the rack and cams j may be moved bodily in order to adjust the propellers differentially. In a further form, Fig. 3, the collar d is adjusted relatively to the seeve e<2> by means of cams p connected by a link r. Endlong movement of the link r through the cam q, brought about by hand or by a weight s<2>, alters the propeller blades similarly. A single propeller, operated as shown in Fig. 3, by a cam p and with a weight attached to the part p<2>, may be placed at the front or rear of the machine. A vertically rotating single propeller rotating about a transverse axis may be placed at each side of the machine above the centre of gravity and be operated by a weightcontrolled cam p. In all cases, the propellers are normally rotating in the neutral position.
